Behind the Secret

Chapter 72: Resign

Athena's POV.

It's been two days simula nung nangyaring family dinner with Yoo Family. I know that I am being rude to them but they were being mean to us. I can't stay silent lalo na't nadadamay ang mga kaibigan ko.

Masyado akong nasaktan sa inasta ng parents ni huggy boo kaya minabuti ko muna na hindi magparamdam sa kahit kanino man. I even asked Francis na huwag muna tumanggap ng kahit sinong visitors kahit ang huggy boo ko o kahit sino sa mga kaibigan namin. I want to feel peace in my heart.

But still I felt sorry about my attitude towards his parents. He will understand me for sure the way I understand him. Sa two days na yun, minabuti ko na ring hindi muna pumasok. Fresh pa kasi sa mga utak ko ang nangyari saamin.

"Miss Angel ito na po ang mga papeles na pinapakuha ni Sir Chriss," sabi nung isang empleyado saakin.

"Sige. Ako na lang," sabi ko at kinuha sakanya ang mga papeles na hawak niya. Nilapag ko muna ang bag ko sa swivel chair ko.

Papasok na sana ako pero hindi ako tumuloy dahil sa mga boses na naririnig ko sa loob ng opisina niya.

"Whether you like it or not, you must fire her."

Sabi ng boses babae.

"I can't do that. Mom please. I love her. I love her so much." pagmamakaawa ni Chriss. So it was her Mom.

Patuloy lang ako nakinig sa usapan nila. Ang swerte ko dahil inspite of everything I did, mahal pa rin niya ako.

"Gusto ko ma-stay ang yaman ng pamilya natin. You can only do that kung magpapakasal ka sa mga mayayaman na katulad natin."

"Katulad nino Mom? Katulad nino?"

"Sa anak ni Mr. Lee or sa anak ni Mr. Tan. Anak you have to think practical."

"Practical? Yan ba ang tinatawag niyong practical? You just care about your wealth. You don't care about my happiness because at the first place you don't care about m-"

"Don't say such things that we didn't care about you. We know what is best for you. If you don't want to do it then your father will take back the company and he'll do it."

Rinig kong sigaw ng Mommy niya kay huggy boo. Wala pang segundo pero nagulat ako na nagbukas ang pinto ng office niya at iniluwa doon si Mrs. Yoo.

She just stare at me intently. Napayuko na lang ako because I don't really know how to face her. I still respect her in spite of everything I did. It seems that magkasing age lang sila ni Mommy.

Nag bow ako to show my respect to her. "Good Morning, Ma'am," bati ko sakanya.

She hissed. "Pathetic," she said and left me. Masakit ang masabihan ng ganun. Lalo na kung galing sa ina ng taong mahal mo. Ano dapat kong gawin para matanggap nila ako?

Chriss' POV.

D*mn! This is totally nonsense. Firing her? No, I can't do that. I love her and no matter what they'll say I won't let her go. Ayoko na magkahiwalay kami. Hindi ko kakayanin ng ganon.

Nakalipas na ang dalawang araw simula nung mangyari ang family dinner namin with my baby boo and her friends. I thought they accept her for being my girlfriend but it turns out a big disaster. They can't accept her dahil sa mas mayaman kami kaysa sakanya. I don't care about our wealth and money anymore. All I care is my love for her.

Sa two days na yun, ni hindi pa kami nag-uusap. She doesn't want to have visitors nor she doesn't answered my d*mn calls! I am f*cking worried about her but I chose not to bother her. Gusto ko magkaroon siya ng time para maibsan kahit papaano ang mga sinabi ng parents ko sakanya at sa mga kaibigan niya.

This is my parent's fault. For pete sake, wala naman akong ibang hiniling kundi ang tanggapin si Angel. That's all I want.

I get my phone. I dialed her number again. Nakatatlong ring pa lang ito but I heard some footsteps entering my office.

"Ito na nga pala yung mga pinapakuha mo raw na pa----"

I cut her off. I went in her side and hug her so tight. I miss this woman so much. 

"I miss you," I said. I don't know but I felt so much pain this past few days. I heard her sobs. Hindi ko alam pero naaawa ako sakanya. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked.

Bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap saakin. Tinignan ko siya sa mga mata. D*mn! Namumula na ang mga mata niya.

"I.. I d-don't k-know," she said while crying.

"Is it about my parents?" I asked. I know it's because of them.

"No..." she answered habang humihikbi. I can't look at her crying. Mas lalo lang akong nasasaktan kapag nakikita ko siyang umiiyak.

"I want to resign..." she said.

No. She can't do that. Tumingin ako sakanya ng deretso, "You are just kidding, right?"

"No. I want to resign," sabi niya habang tumutulo ang kanyang mga luha.

"Please. Don't do that to me, baby," pagmamakaawa ko. I can't let her go.

"Hindi ko kasi kaya na makita kang nasasaktan ng dahil sakin over your parents. I can't. It doesn't mean that I will resign to your company eh aalis na ako sa buhay mo. No, I can't. Please accept this resignation letter," she said habang nagpipigil ng luha. 

"Baby please..," pagmamakaawa ko.

"Mahirap sakin umalis sa kompanyang ito pero ito lang ang natatanging paraan para magtiwala uliy sayo ang mga magulang mo. I don't want to leave you alone but I have to. Ayoko maging pabigat sayo at sa family mo. Okay? I love you huggy boo. Bye." she said. She then left me dumbfounded.
